We Can’t Stop the Mass Shootings
But at least we can get the murderous losers to target the 2nd Amendments freaks
Perhaps there could be a mark, a brand. Unfazed as they are by the slaughters occurring daily in our society, the gun-obsessed don’t care about human life — unless it is a zygote and then they get all “Jesus-like” about protecting the sanctity of life.
A mass shooter enters an establishment and immediately scans the assembled citizens — ah-ha, there’s a 2nd Amendment freak— and then pulls the trigger. An “I idolize guns” brand can help future shooters (the ones who will strike today, this weekend, or next week) to more easily find them.
The mark will have to be on the forehead or somewhere readily visible to make it easier for the shooter. No one under 18 should be branded so maybe this will slow the rate at which children are being gunned down — gun deaths are the leading killer for children in America today despite what the gun-obsessed will tell is not true.
No one should die
For obvious reasons, no one should die from gun violence — or any violence. But the insensitivity to the pain and suffering that wrecks the lives of the survivors that the gun-obsessed demonstrate should result in at least some heightened risks.
